A toxic tort case involves people who have sustained an injury caused by exposure to pharmaceutical or industrial toxic substances and are seeking compensation through the judicial system.

Toxic tort cases are often filed as class action lawsuits, meaning that the judicial remedy of one case can be applied for everyone in a definable class who has suffered a similar injury.

If you or a loved one has become the victim of a serious illness that was caused by exposure to a poisonous substance, you may be eligible to receive compensation. At the law offices of Greg Coleman Law, our toxic tort lawyers have the experience and knowledge to fully litigate your claim and can help guide you through the personal injury litigation process.

Common Toxin-Related Illnesses

Contact with a noxious substance can result in a number of health hazards and generally arise when a person is exposed to pharmaceutical drugs or occupation-related chemicals.

Some of the most common illnesses caused by exposure to toxic chemicals include (but are not limited to):

Narcosis

Neurological deficits

Immune deficiencies

Cancer

Respiratory distress

Dermatitis

Gastroenteritis

Toxoplasmosis

Death

It is important to note that many illnesses that result from exposure can create life changing circumstances for not only injury victims, but also their families and dependents.

Loss of wages due to an inability to work is often crushing for many families - especially if they are trying to pay for medical costs and other expenses that are related to their injury. With this in mind, a skilled attorney can help to assemble a robust case to help fight for your maximum compensation benefits.

Causes for Toxic Tort Claims

Mass tort cases usually happen when environmental contamination causes harm to an individual or a community. A person can be exposed to a dangerous toxin in a variety of ways, including:

Through groundwater

Released in the air

Released by refineries and power plants, usually during a fire

Ingested as drugs or vitamins

Direct contact

Building materials (asbestos, Chinese drywall)

Mold - spores and fungi

In drinking water

In food

In clothing, such as latex gloves

In many instances, it can take years for the effects of exposure to hazardous substances to arise. Cases like mesothelioma, asbestosis have been known to take decades before their symptoms are known to the victim.
